Are you able to execute "ssh -N -L 8022:XXX:22 -f YYY" when connected through a terminal? At the moment, it's hard to distinguish which error come from what command or application.

There is an easier method for retrieving files from a Linux box in a private network - Rebex SFTP component supports tunneling through SSH servers:

using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Net;
using Rebex.Net;

...

// connect to the Linux box in public network
SshSession session = new SshSession();
session.Connect("YYY");
SshPrivateKey privateKey2 = new SshPrivateKey("abc.ppk", password);
session.Authenticate(username, privateKey2);

// connect to the Linux box in private network
// using a tunnel through the first server
Sftp sftp = new Sftp();
sftp.SetSocketFactory(session.ToSocketFactory()); // sets up tunnelling
sftp.Connect("XXX");
sftp.Login(username, privateKey2); // of course, the credentials can be different here

// get the file using SFTP here
...

Please give this a try, it looks like an easier solution to what you are tryig to do.
